**Yes!!!** I am **Darius Milhaud**.

I’m afraid the “alive during the 19th century” was somewhat misleading, as Milhaud lived only the first eight years of his life in that century.

Congratulations **astorian**!

Names I expected to come up that didn’t:

Dmitri Mendeleev  
Dimitri Mitropoulos  
Dave Matthews  
Dave Mason  
Dave Marsh  
Darren McGavin
